Yi Chen's pessimism was justified.
Because he had seen too much of the dark side of human nature.
Like the Town Peace Office.
He did not believe there was not a single bad seed within.
When encountering problems, he always assumed the worst in others.
Today marked his second day defending Longjiang Prefecture.
The reinforcements would take seven days to arrive.
Why seven days?
The emergence of a half-step True Monarch's treasure was a vast temptation.
For both the righteous and the wicked.
A lawless man of the past once said,
"The decay of the whole world is hidden in the human heart."
Everyone has a Zhang San within their heart.
For cultivators, being individuals with even greater power, the Zhang San within their hearts would be that much more formidable.
The necessity for reinforcements to take seven days was quite telling.
One could argue that the people from the Town Peace Office elsewhere were tied down by other forces within their jurisdictions.
